I got my start in Unix sysadmin a few decades ago, so have always been comfortable in Linux even in the early days. I used to maintain a dual boot setup, but my primary system has been Fedora Linux only for the past decade or so. The laptop I use occasionally boots to Linux by default, but I keep the Windows partition around that it came with. Only time I boot into Windows is if I need to use the slicing software for my 3D printer (after I've created the model in Linux). In that case, didn't realize that Monoprice's rebranding of a popular 3D printer included a customized firmware signature and matching change in the slicer software, so I can't use the OEM manufacture's software (either Linux or Windows versions), and am stuck with whatever Monoprice wants to distribute.
For work, my work laptop is Windows and provided/maintained by internal IT. I support exclusively Linux based systems for our customer facing product, and the main reason I keep the Windows install on is so I can make any workstation issues a helpdesk issue.
In general though I've had no issues getting Office 365 working on Linux (Chromium / Chrome is best supported, but Firefox works OK too for most functions).
